Agreed. My peace lily is great. It wilts when it's thirsty, and otherwise it requires no maintenance.
I once left it for about a month, came back, it had wilted quite a lot. I thought maybe it wouldn't recover. I watered it a normal amount and woke up to it having perked up quite a lot, and in another day it was back to normal.
Definitely a plant I would recommend.

- pvaldes 5y agoSpathiphyllum belong to a pretty evil big family and are poisonous as all good Aroids are. You can expect a combination of microscopic crystal arrows tearing flesh and acid being throw in the wounds later for maximum fun. We have it indoors exactly because that (being poisonous are often left untouched by animals increasing its decorative value). Can kill a cat by asphysia perfectly but this is really unusual. Pets can eventually bite them, once, and learn fast not to do it again. The dangerous part is if they would swallow 'a chunk of burning fire'. Will not happen easily unless your dog or cat is a totally clueless idiot.
